Three Things: Ukraine and software development - Allegiant Stadium's Super Bowl boo-boo and what we can learn - A drop of sewage in a magnum of champagne

Three Things I Learned In Saas, Sports, Tech and Live Events: 1) Ukraine and off-shore development will impact a lot of businesses we all know. Unrest in the Ukraine has a number of layers - which we can't cover here. One of them: Ukraine is a very popular off-shoring destination for software development work and support for a number of western companies. There are a lot of agreements reliant on data and geopolitical security in the Ukraine which are void as of today. Always have a plan B when off-shoring. Always. 2) Rumor has it Allegiant Stadium didn't carve out the Super Bowl in '24 from their suite holder agreements. If true, and we've heard it now from a number of suite holders that the building is trying to "buy back" the suites, what an incredible win it is for those who got in early on the new stadium. 3) "A drop of sewage can ruin a magnum of champagne." We can never be too diligent in our relationships. Whether a deal, a culture, or even personally. Often people believe their culture can turn around troubled situations - some examples include athletes going to new teams and thriving. More often than not, that athlete was mislabeled. Be very careful with toxic people. It's as potent as a drop of sewage
